Slow mo conkers in the local park! Did you play c

Slow mo conkers in the local park!

Did you play conkers as a kid? I’m not sure why, but my youngest has spent the past few weeks collecting conkers. We’ve got hundreds of them.

I strung a couple on strings so we could have a game. The kids absolutely loved it, but as I told them about my school days and how we’d play conkers in the playground, bake them, soak them in vinegar and so on, it was like I was talking in another language. Honestly, it was totally alien to them.

It was a sign of how childhood has changed. I can’t say I’m too surprised conkers was banished from the school playground (you can still remember what a direct hit to the knuckles felt like, right????), but video games have pushed conkers out the way I guess. It’s a bit sad such a simple childhood pleasure has been consigned to history.

Then again, I may have a biased opinion. My Cub Scout troop were regional conker champions!

I have known mums and dads debilitated by anxiety.

I have known mums and dads debilitated by anxiety. Some manage to muddle on through, some I have known sometimes struggled to get out of bed on bad days.

If you live with anxiety and have kids, a new online course has been created by a team at @sussexuni

The best bit: If you have kids between the ages of 2 and 11, you are encouraged to apply for the course. Hint: The team behind the course recognise that dads aren’t always included in these initiatives so they are particularly keen for dads to enrol and try it out.

Details are on the blog today. Link in bio. If you have anxiety or know a parent who does, do have a read and pass on details.

Starting the week with some blogging history!

This, mi amigos, is the bottom of the range Acer laptop that I used 9 years ago when I launched that infernal blog of mine @dadbloguk. Look at that, Windows 7. Not seen a PC with that operating system for some time!

The camera is a bottom of the range Nikon bridge camera I bought soon afterwards when I realised I needed to up my photography skills.

Bottom of the range that camera may be (it’s a @nikoneurope CoolPix L280, long discontinued sadly) but it was superb. The zoom lens was just amazing.

Anyway, both have been gathering dust for some time. While it was tempting to start a ‘Museum for Blogging’ I have found a new home for them both.

Forgive me, I’m reminiscing, silly old fool that I am!

Colder weather = slow cooker recipes and I’ve been trying out a new one.

In my latest post for @microban’s Cleaner Home I make Crock Pot Crack Chicken (a suggestion of the amazing @thesproutingminds).

It’s an incredibly versatile recipe and very easy to make. You can serve it as a main meal, as a dip, with salad, chipped potatoes and so on.

Go take a look at #TheCleanerHome for more!

Banging my head against a wall… You’ve probab

Banging my head against a wall…

You’ve probably seen the headlines about the superb childcare survey @mumsnet organised with a broad coalition of partners.

An amazing 20,000 people took part in the survey, the results of which were used in a parliamentary debate. The survey highlighted just how expensive U.K. childcare is and the lengths families go to pay for it.

In a radical (and I don’t use that word lightly) move, men were encouraged to partake in the survey and both @mffonline_ & @fatherhoodinst went out of their way to get dads to participate.

Have a guess at how many men actually took part in the survey. Leave me a comment below. I’ll give you a clue: Not as many as should have done!

If you want to cheat, answer is on the blog (along with other details). Link in bio.

I’ll leave you with this thought. If men really want to effect change and help make the world that bit more equal, they’re gonna have to engage with these issues and recognise their importance.
